Guest guest Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Homemade Candy Corn I got this off the net and made some the other day it is awesome and my kids loved it. When you're at the grocery store, pick up some plastic gloves. They'll make it easy to knead the dough without ending up with food- coloring-stained hands. 1 cup sugar 2/3 cup corn syrup 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar 1/3 cup non fat milk powder 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Red and yellow food coloring Bring first 4 ingredients to boil over high heat in heavy large saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-high and boil 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Sift powdered sugar, milk powder, and salt into medium bowl. Add powdered sugar mixture to pan; stir to combine. Let mixture stand until slightly warm to touch, about 20 minutes. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces; place each piece in small bowl. Add several drops of yellow food coloring to one piece of dough. Using plastic gloves to protect hands, knead food coloring into dough until smooth and color is even, about 15 minutes. Repeat using red and yellow food coloring (to make orange) with second piece. Leave last piece white; knead dough until smooth. Roll each piece into a thin rope (don't roll too thin or dough will break). Push three ropes together to form long rectangle. Using sharp knife, cut ropes into triangles. Using fingers, shape candy corn as desired. Store at room temperature in airtight container, separating layers with pieces of waxed paper to prevent sticking.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 You could substitute powder Soy Milk, like Better than Milk and it should work just fine, for those that want it vegan. - Allison Arthur Thursday, September 27, 2007 7:53 PM Re: Vegan Candy Corn Yummy This actually isn't vegan.
